Grace Under Pressure: Exploring the AMG® E 53 Advanced Suspension  

Mercedes-Benz AMG® E 53 Advanced Suspension Features 

Driving enthusiasts know that performance isn’t only about horsepower—it’s about how the car connects with the road. That’s why the 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG® E 53 impresses far beyond its 577-horsepower hybrid engine. At Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale, we’re especially excited about what’s happening beneath the surface—specifically, the AMG® E 53 advanced suspension system. 

This high-performance luxury sedan proves that comfort, control, and responsiveness can coexist, even when the road gets twisty. 



Precision Meets Comfort with AMG RIDE CONTROL 

The AMG® E 53 advanced suspension begins with AMG RIDE CONTROL, a system crafted to handle diverse driving situations. From tight city turns to backroad curves, this setup maintains sharp control while absorbing road imperfections. 

The system features three-stage adaptive damping. This lets the vehicle adjust in real time based on the drive mode selected through AMG DYNAMIC SELECT. Whether cruising in Comfort or pushing through corners in Sport+, the suspension adapts for an ideal ride. 

Moreover, the suspension system is lighter and more rigid than the standard E-Class. A wider track and longer wheelbase also contribute to superior cornering and stability. All these elements work together to create a ride that feels smooth and confident—no matter the terrain.

Rear-Axle Steering Adds Agility and Stability 

Another exciting enhancement is the standard active rear-axle steering. This system dynamically adjusts the direction of the rear wheels based on speed and driving mode. 

  • Below 37 mph: Rear wheels steer up to 2.5 degrees opposite the front wheels 
  • Helps reduce the turning radius 
  • Improves maneuverability in city driving and parking 
  • Above 37 mph: Rear wheels steer in the same direction as the front 
  • Boosts high-speed stability 
  • Enhances control during fast lane changes or evasive maneuvers 

This smart feature makes the AMG® E 53 more agile in traffic and more stable on the highway.

AMG Performance 4MATIC+ Makes It Feel Planted 

Standard AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive works in perfect harmony with the suspension. It precisely shifts torque between front and rear wheels, reacting to road conditions and driver input instantly. That means more grip during acceleration, more control through corners, and better confidence in any weather. 

Pair this with ESP Dynamic Cornering Assist, and you get added control while cornering. The system lightly brakes the inside rear wheel to reduce understeer. As a result, the car holds the line through curves better, giving you confidence in every turn.
